We walked to the Centro Market today in order to buy some smoked tuna. A block of around a half kilo cost 77 Mexican pesos or approximately US $3.65. We were walking and the sun was shining brightly. The temperature was headed towards a high of around 25° C today.
As we walked, I stopped to consider how delightful it is for us to spend winters in locations where it is reasonably warm. For a number of years, I've not worn a shred of winter clothing. I cannot remember the last time I donned boots. My feet are usually in sandals or nothing!
Humans are amazingly flexible animals. Yet, it seems to me that spending time in places where it's cold, whether the precipitation is completely frozen or just damp, is a type of coping. So many people have no choice but to cope. We are lucky to be Canadian snowbirds as it is a healthier lifestyle for us.
